Dumb Question and a Rant!

[thelastbandit]

Ok, dumb question first. Burnouts. Over the years I have seen many burnouts, but never managed to do one myself, except once and it was pretty pathetic, so not really worth mentioning

I remember something called a Lineloc or similar which locked up the front wheels and left the backs free, my question is this, does every car (even at RMYB events) have a Lineloc (or just crap rear brakes) and if they don't have a lineloc how da fook do they do it? .... or am I missing something fundamental?

 

Now the rant: I've been out in me Pop doing stuff this morning and had lots of comments ranging from "is it Aircooled?" to "Nice motor, whats the 0-60 time" Then on the way home some fat biatch in a frikkin' old Astra had the audacity to point and laugh, How dare she? Especially riding around in a frikkin' Astra (which was lopsided cause she was such a fat swamp donkey!)

Lord save us from the unappreciative!

 

On the + side today I've been wondering what to do about my rattly Jag IRS and then I remembered there was an independent Jag Specialist in the next town, and when I went to see him I struck gold, his Dad who is now retired, specialised in tuning, with the Rover V8 being one of his specialities, and he could apparently, according to son, be coaxed out of retirement cos he's bored shitless

 

Roll on next years OSF Drags

Just jam your brakes on and floor accelerator! Not great for the shoes but its only wearing them down faster so not really a problem! just be brutal, you can do it in almost anyhting rear wheel drive as long as your clutch is alright! check the link in my sig!

Don't worry about the fat slag in the astra fella.

Let me know if you manage to talk the old boy into looking at your V8 because I could do with someone waving a magic spanner at my V8 sometime in the future.

and Will do Neil, the guy reckons he can get 250 odd bhp out of it without spending shedloads of dough, we shall see.
